Obsession

La Chapelle de Potensac

Delon Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

I was looking for '09 Bordeaux to break my Burgundy obsession and I stumbled on this. Young but balanced and very approachable now. — 8 years ago

D'Oliveiras

Vintage Madeira Sercial 1910

How else to warm up for a trade tasting of invigorating Champagne this afternoon? Penetrating Sercial Madeira from the year that brought us the Boy Scouts of America. If wine were merit badges perhaps I'd nearly be an Eagle by now... After this evening's tasting I'll have quite a heavy merit badge sash for Champagne -an obsession that can reach no surfeit -it becomes more fascinating and evermore nuanced. For the moment however I'm awash in crushed kumquats in honey, marmalade, hazelnuts and roast peanuts -all layered among so much more in one of the richest Sercial Madeiras I've tried to date. — 9 years ago

for my return to the real world - slight petroleum, super minerals, excellent for the obsession people have with asparagus here. — 9 years ago

Cascina Val del Prete

Serra de' Gatti Barbera d'Alba

Recent Barbera obsession continues. Big but smooth. Gorgeous but tiny bite at the end. Settles so well. Great with burger or pizza if going heavy even for a lighter wine. — 8 years ago

Saarburg Riesling 2013

Off dry with a good acid backbone and a very nice silky round body... the Riesling obsession continues.... — 8 years ago

White Rose Estate

White Rose Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

This bottling is my new found favorite obsession! Wonderfully full bodied for an Oregon Pinot. Great fruit and spice on the nose. Full, round fruit with hints of sweet earth and the spice comes back around on the finish... Am loving this wine and can't get enough of it! — 9 years ago

Domaine De La Grand'Cour (Jean-Louis Dutraive)

Les Clos Cuvée Vielles Vignes Fleurie Gamay 2014

Marc Stubblefield
9.1

The 2014 Domaine De la Grand'Cour Le Clos Fleurie is my current obsession, but these were all delicious and fun to taste back to back (to back to back...). A study in granite, flowers and crunchy red fruit. Thanks for the great event @Max Kogod and #kogodwinemerchant, and thanks for hosting @Molly Brooks-Thornton and #bankershillrestaurant — 9 years ago

Greer

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

I admit, I have a milld obsession with Greer wines. Gorgeous crimson color. On the nose: flint and dark fruits. Extremely layered with a smooth texture and incredibly long finish. Dark berries galore, baking spice (cinnamon?) and trademark Rutherford dust. 3 hour decant. This is a baby. I try to keep my hands off them but they keep calling to me in the cellar 😂. Incredible now, but I think these will improve with a few more years in bottle. — 8 years ago
